From. the Nec York Sun.


The paper that Prof George F. Barker
read to the scientists is the first indication
that Edison has given of his progress i'll
what he regards as the most important and
revolutionary of all his discoveries. The
paper though read by Prof. Barker, was
written by Edison who does not like to
make public addresses, and of all men Of
science whom Edison knows he could have
selected none more appropriate to read his
paper
Profs. Barker and Edison have been great
cchums for many years. The professol
though saturated with chemical lore, ana
an investigator and writer upon chemistry
who stands in the front rank of students, is
one of the iolliest of mon. He doesn't look
like a man who spends hours every day and
night in laboratory reducing solids to
Vapors, and condensing vapors TO SOLIDS,
staining his fingsrs with acids, holding his
nose to escape intolerable odors that he Gre
ates, and a master of all the curious.symbols

of them. ......
Prof. Barker can laugh like an Astor
House politician who has got grind on an

Wen as any other, and is able to extract
joke out of the direst of chemical formula.

successful session Of ten days or a fortnight.
The exercises were of the most high pressure

among a surrounding thicket of trees was
filled in with rather large and decidedly an

reared near by. Primitive lamps OF small
Illuminating capacity threw dim, religious
hcht around upon the benches. the impro-
vised pulpit and the grotesque figures Of the
sable worshipers. At little distance stood
q diminutive wooden church, to which an
animated and unanimous retreat was made
whenever a shower came up. This church
would hold perhaps 200 souls when well
crowded: and it need not be said that when
ever il was occupied at all it was crowded,
with very perceptible results.
Frequently white visitors from Forest
Glen and other places would stray into this
camp meeting, and they were invariably
welcomed with reclamation, because it was
taken for granted that they would contrib
ute literally TO the cause of religion III gen

naught in any instance, though it must be
confessed that the visitors always acted as

money.
